Figure 39: IPC Interface application circuit
If direct access to the USB or the UART interfaces of the module is not provided, it is recommended to
provide direct access to the SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_SCLK, SPI_MRDY, SPI_SRDY lines of the
module for debug purpose: testpoints can be added on the lines to accommodate the access and a 0 Ω
series resistor must be mounted on each line to detach the module pin from any other connected
device.
If the SPI/IPC interface is not used, the SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_SCLK, SPI_MRDY, SPI_SRDY pins
can be left unconnected.
Any external signal connected to the SPI / IPC interface must be tri-stated when the module is in power-
down mode, when the external reset is forced low and during the module power-on sequence (at least
for 3 s after the start-up event), to avoid latch-up of circuits and allow a proper boot of the module. If
the external signals connected to the wireless module cannot be tri-stated, insert a multi channel digital
switch (e.g. Texas Instruments SN74CB3Q16244, TS5A3159, or TS5A63157) between the two-circuit
connections and set to high impedance during module power down mode, when external reset is forced
low and during power-on sequence.
1.9.5 MUX Protocol (3GPP 27.010)
LISA-U series modules have a software layer with MUX functionality, 3GPP TS 27.010 Multiplexer Protocol [7],
available either on the UART or on the SPI physical link. The USB interface doesn’t support the multiplexer
protocol.
This is a data link protocol (layer 2 of OSI model) which uses HDLC-like framing and operates between the
module (DCE) and the application processor (DTE) and allows a number of simultaneous sessions over the used
physical link (UART or SPI): the user can concurrently use AT command interface on one MUX channel and
Packet-Switched / Circuit-Switched Data communication on another MUX channel. The multiplexer protocol can
be used on one serial interface (UART or SPI) at a time. Each session consists of a stream of bytes transferring
various kinds of data such as SMS, CBS, PSD, GPS, AT commands in general. This permits, for example, SMS to
be transferred to the DTE when a data connection is in progress.
The following virtual channels are defined:
Channel 0: control channel
Channel 1 5: AT commands /data connection
Channel 6: GPS tunneling
All LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00 provide an additional channel:
Channel 7: SIM Access Profile dedicated port
